The quality and success of their solo career doesn't negate the greatness of what they contributed while in The Revolution. And either way, their solo stuff is pretty damn good as it is. Some of y'all just get off on discrediting these two, it's really weird to see | |

When you come out after a man is dead and take credit for 3 years of his work that's discrediting to the max.
I have every album by Wendy and Lisa. I have every album by Prince.
I might listen to one of those albums by W&L once a year. I'm listening to Prince's collection at least once a month.
Let me put it like this if Wendy was dead do you think Prince would be out talking about his influence on her music? | |

I have never seen W&L "take credit for 3 years of his work", only taking credit for what they should rightfully get credit for when it comes to their work in the band. Ultimately there is no conspiracy to take credit for as much of his music as they can muster here lol they are just keeping the legacy of the music alive by speaking about their own contributions [Edited 6/13/20 15:50pm] | |

- And there we go again. I can't help to state that it's always the ninenties fams against the eighties fans. Do we need two Prince.orgs then, to get rid of this annoying unneeded il-founded debates ? Full of personal atttacks, mediocre info filled with unfounded 'opinions', sales as measurments, told truths that became lies, ill-founded injustices, own believes, preferences full of incomplete insights ... - What is wrong with all of us ? What have we all become ? Our own enemies ? Prince Enemies in funk wars ? - For fuck's sake. Learn to agree to disagree. Put yourself above mediocrity. And don't attack 'us'. Stop convincing others. Try to show a wise portion of indifference to get that much needed peace. Put yourself above all that stupid hate. Learn and dare to change your points of view too. - Gees. - "The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves.

This is faulty logic though. Izzy Stradlin helped write tons of Guns N' Roses' biggest hits and was a huge part of their sound yet he never wrote a single hit on his own - because it was the inspiration he had with those combinations of musicians that made the songs what they are | |

Much love to Wendy and Lisa however there are other Prince associates that have taken offense. It's no conspiracy but as a member of the next band era said who made them the spokesperson for Prince's legacy?

They took credit for a whole album they only had input on 2 songs on. So..... Even the released strange relationship is different than the dream factory version. I just hate when certain band members change the narrative now that he’s gone. People hate sheila e right now but....nobody disputes shit Wendy and Lisa say. Why? Great musicians & their solo work is great but I wish they’d stop talking. I truly miss cease and desist letters. | |

- No they are absolutely not. And I'm not interested in rivals between bandmembers either. People are people. And i'm not going to reply to unconstructive assumptions anymore. Who am I (are we) to even mention these things about people I/we personally don't know ? Peace and constructive debates are so much needed in the divided states of that song title. - "The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves.

What album is that? The Dream Factory sessions direction and energy was very similar to how things went with Prince having them do a lot of work on the songs from PR - Parade.
And where have you been Wendy & Lisa have been attacked this way for the last 10yrs #ALBUMSSTILLMATTER

I don't remember them trying to be the spokespersons for Prince's legacy
Why does Joshue get to get Purple Rain Deluxe credit... why I Kirk's name on every release prior to him being in the band? #ALBUMSSTILLMATTER

All in all I never looked at any of what they said as trying to be the spokesperson - but rather talking about their experiences because Prince is dead and keeping the music alive can only be done through listening to them and hearing stories about them. I just haven't seen anything aaid by Wendy or Lisa that is out of bounds in relation to that, and I am glad they are telling as many stories as they are | |

Sign o the times. Outside of strange relationship and beautiful night, sign is a Prince album. OldFriends4Sale said:

I will always be glad Wendy and Lisa are telling their stories and I have not seen a single quote from them where me as a fan, see it as innacurate or wrong to tell. | |

. Really?? .
. To each their own. Even though I am a huge fan and even during the PR era, I have never liked Take Me With You (love the extended live portion though), I Would Die For You or even Purple Rain. That's one third of the album that, to me, would have been better left off. No accounting for taste, I suppose. .
. I agree with you, although a lot of times he would use "weird" pseudonyms, to make sure it would be pointed back to him regardless. Paisley Park is in your heart - Love Is Here! | |

Of course you want 2 c it that way... the truth it will always be connected with the energy of the Parade era and Dream Factory/Camille sessions #ALBUMSSTILLMATTER

They have never done that before he died nor after
Yes, Prince would, and I have no problem with that. #ALBUMSSTILLMATTER

i was the one who mentioned their lack of any hit songs or even charted songs as just one part of the many things i said about them (or their online militia)...the bottom line FOR ME, is that Wendy & Lisa's music without Prince is/was trash, and that Wendy has delusions of grandeur....and there is no metric available (sales, awards or opinions) that can disprove that...and im clearly not the only one who feels that way. | |

Unless there’s other songs on the released album that they’re actually on, enlighten me. Otherwise...I’m not wanting to see anything. It’s a fact not an opinion. Hence the reason he erased majority of their contributions and re did strange relationship OldFriends4Sale said:

Nobody is discrediting their skills. They are great musicians and their solo output is great. But between overstating influence because you like them and their discrediting everything that’s come after them is why they get the bad rap that they do. The entire movie band in general | |

I refuse to believe that we've simply degenerated into Dumb Beasts that argue about Who Gets Credit for What and bitching about Lemon Cakes or the people who helped Prince make his music. | |

I don't like I have ever seen Wendy and Lisa do that though, no? | |
